Downtown Gets a New Candy Shop, Just In Time for Sweetest Day
Rochester, MI – There’s having a passion for something….. and then there’s the Ziggy mold.
“As a kid, instead of bringing in cupcakes to school as my birthday treat, I would home-make and bring in chocolate suckers,” said Lori Capitani, chocolatier and co-owner of the new Capies Candies in downtown Rochester. “In fact, I still have my Ziggy mold.”
While Ziggy may still hold a soft spot in Lori’s heart, the small, bald and trouserless comic strip icon hasn’t made an appearance on the shelves of the new Capies Candies location on East Street — yet.
